Chapter 26

Theos

Kiera’s face is flushed from the heat of the bath and she moans softly as I grab a washcloth and douse it in soap, bringing it to her shoulder and rubbing my thumb into her muscles through it. The sound she makes does bad things to my insides. It makes my cock stand at attention, craving a taste of something it’s already had once and wants, very much, to have again.

I wash her gently, moving the cloth over her upper back and down her arms. Her pale breasts bob in the water, the pink tips visible even in the murky water salted with some of the herbs we keep in here for when we’ve had a damn rough day in training. The little red dots that speckle her front and face catch my eyes. I can’t stand the sight of them, so I slide my hand up through her hair, taking a fistful of the silken strands, and tug her back.

Her lashes lift, such a different color than her actual hair, and those dagger-silver eyes of hers meet mine as I lightly touch the cloth to her neck and cheeks, wiping away the blood that still lingers there. Her pupils dilate, blowing wide and dark, taking over the gray hue of her irises as if she wants to take in each and every detail as she watches me clean her body.

“Why are you doing this?” Her question is spoken so softly that I almost miss it.

“Doing what?” My voice is a whisper as my hand stills at her collarbone. I want to reach down and lift her breast above the water, flicking that perfect little rose-colored nipple, and see if she shudders or moans. One night certainly hadn’t been enough for me, but since then, I haven’t had an opportunity for round two.

Right now is not that opportunity, I remind myself, pulling my hand back.

Hers shoots out of the water and latches on to mine, fingers wrapping around my wrist. “Why are you bathing me?” she asks. “I’m not a child. I can take care of myself. You know that.” She peers at me with a furrowed brow as if she truly cannot comprehend that someone would offer this for any other reason than another’s inability to do so.

“Has no one ever taken care of you?” I ask curiously.

She flinches, but just as quickly erases the action as if it’d never happened. I blow out a breath. She doesn’t seem nervous about her nudity anymore. In fact, she appears more comfortable in her own skin now than she did when she was still somewhat—a term I use incredibly loosely—covered on the Day of Descendance. It’s driving me insane with wanting to touch and taste and take.

Before that, though, I’ll have my answers.

Tipping my head to the side, I keep my hand in her hair. “Do you want me to stop?” I ask. Her eyes flick down, lashes shielding the emotion that I might read there. I tighten my hold and her lips part on a gasp.
